Ensure the safety and quality of your stored goods with Steamatic Australia’s expert cold store cleaning services.

Maintaining cleanliness in cold storage facilities is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of stored products. Steamatic Australia offers specialised cold store cleaning services that address the unique challenges of these environments, including working at heights, extreme cold conditions, and stringent safety requirements.

The Importance of Cold Store Cleaning

Cold storage facilities are essential for preserving perishable goods, but they can accumulate dirt, mould, and other contaminants that compromise product safety and quality. Regular and thorough cleaning is necessary to prevent the spread of bacteria and maintain compliance with food safety standards. However, the cold temperatures and challenging conditions make cleaning these areas particularly demanding.

Our Cold Store Cleaning Process

1. Specialised Cleaning in Extreme Conditions

Cold stores operate at very low temperatures, requiring specialised cleaning techniques and equipment. Steamatic Australia’s team is trained to work efficiently in these harsh environments, ensuring that cleaning is thorough without compromising the integrity of stored goods. We use non-toxic, food-safe cleaning agents that are effective even in freezing conditions and comply with food preparation standards.

2. Safe Working at Heights

Cold storage facilities often have tall racks and shelves that require cleaning at significant heights. Our technicians are trained in safe working at heights protocols, using appropriate harnesses, scaffolding, and elevated work platforms. We follow strict guidelines to ensure that all high surfaces, including walls, ceilings, and storage racks, are cleaned and sanitised without risk to our team or your facility.

3. Focus on Safety with Man Down Protocols

Safety is our top priority when working in cold storage environments. Steamatic Australia implements rigorous safety protocols, including "man down" systems, to monitor the well-being of our technicians working in these challenging conditions. This technology ensures that if a worker experiences a fall, medical issue, or becomes incapacitated due to the cold, an immediate alert is sent to our safety team, allowing for a rapid response.

Steamatic Australia offers a full range of cold store cleaning services, including:

  • Floor and Surface Cleaning: Removing ice build-up, spills, and contaminants from floors, walls, and storage areas.

  • Air Quality Management: Cleaning and maintaining air handling systems to prevent the spread of contaminants and ensure a healthy storage environment.

  • Scheduled Maintenance: Offering regular cleaning schedules to maintain cleanliness and safety in your cold storage facility.

5. Adherence to Food Preparation Standards

We understand the critical importance of adhering to food preparation standards in cold storage environments. Our cleaning processes are designed to meet all relevant food safety regulations, ensuring that your facility remains compliant and that your stored goods are protected from contamination.
